I think having the train operated by a bot back when bots were first implemented in SAMP many years ago was an amazing addition. It adds a sense of immersion to the server and provides some cool interactions (forcing people to stop when the train is going by, having cars crash into the train during pursuits adding a new level of ways that a pursuit ends, suspects getting away by driving past the train just in time) and honestly some funny moments as well. I never understood why the train was removed permanently and would love to hear opinions on this from current devs.

Was always disappointed that the train was removed, I’d get out of prison and be at the train station realising I have to call a cab all the way out to Fort Carson.

And before Dov98 and the rest of those who love trashing suggestion threads comes along and says “people will troll, they’ll stand on top of it”, it was on the server well before any of you played and there weren’t any problems with it. It’s an extra mode of transport, it gives a bit of life to an otherwise lifeless environment (when there’s no players around of course) and it’s fun to see people’s cars getting slammed.

Definitely want the train back. Was handy when a character was released from Prison and needed to get back to the City. Also makes things hectic for legal factions sometimes and gives some funny moments. Not really any downsides to this!
